One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The day news of the world conference's conclusion spread across the ocean,

The sea breeze of the New World carries a restless energy.

After the list of new Shichibukai was announced, those nominated became targets overnight.

Pirates, like sharks drawn by the scent of blood, surged forth from all corners of the world, launching sneak attacks, challenges, and encirclements—using every means at their disposal.

For no other reason than to eliminate the people on the list, thus giving himself a chance to take their place.

The first to suffer was the green pepper with a cone.

This veteran pirate, with a bounty of 500 million, had already semi-retired, living a leisurely life near the Flower Country with his Happo Navy.

He practices boxing and trains his grandson every day, living a pretty comfortable life.

Once the list is announced, the peaceful days are over.

"Green pepper! Come out and face your death!"

"I'm going to take your head today and become a Shichibukai!"

"Everyone, attack together! No matter how strong he is, he's only one person!"

At first, I didn't think much of it.

He's been at sea for decades; what storms haven't he seen?

A few reckless pirates, just drive them away.

But there were too many people.

Three will come today, five tomorrow, and a whole group the day after.

The patrol boats of the Babao Navy were harassed to no end, and several squad leaders were even ambushed and injured.

Old Cai, the grandson of the green pepper, was so angry he jumped up and down: "Grandpa! Let me take some men and wipe them out!"

Green Pepper waved his hand and didn't say anything.

But on the third day,

A group of arrogant pirates stormed into the Babao Navy's encampment, seized several ships, and injured several soldiers.

Green peppers finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Back in Roger's day, you guys were probably nowhere to be found!"

Green Pepper walked out of the house, stood at the harbor, and punched the sea.

boom--!!!

The seawater burst open, creating giant waves tens of meters high that capsized the pirates' ship.

Those pirates who were still shouting on the shore went weak in the knees when they saw this scene.

Green peppers jumped into the harbor and punched them one by one, like playing whack-a-mole.

"A bounty of 500 million? That's what I was worth ten years ago!"

He punched a pirate captain with a bounty of 80 million, sending him flying. The guy spun around in the air a dozen times before falling into the sea and never resurfacing.

"The Green Pepper with a Cone! It lives up to its name!"

Someone screamed and turned to run away.

But the green peppers weren't going to let them off the hook.

He chased them for thirty nautical miles, sank all of their ships, and then returned cursing.

"Damn it, do you think I'm a pushover?"

In this battle, Chinjao killed hundreds of pirates, and his blood stained half of the bay red.

Once the news spread, the hot-headed pirates finally calmed down a bit.

But it's just "a little".

Green Pepper's strength is undeniable, and most people wouldn't dare mess with him. But there are always those who consider themselves "different"—those notorious pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million are starting to stir.

The Babao Water Army was harassed for a full half month, and even their daily training was suspended.

Old Cai couldn't take it anymore: "Grandpa! Just accept it! It's just a Shichibukai, isn't it? Accept it and you'll have peace and quiet!"

Green Pepper remained silent for a long time, then sighed.

"What I hate most in this life is being a dog of the World Government. But for you little minions..."

He didn't go on.

When Vice Admiral Momonga arrived with the invitation, Chinjao didn't even glance at him, simply taking the invitation and signing it.

"Signed. Get out."

The flying squirrel's lips twitched, but it didn't say anything and left with the invitation.

When the news of Chinjao taking over as a Shichibukai spread, the pirates finally quieted down.

It's not that I don't want to fight for it, it's that I can't win.

So they turned their attention to their next target.

...........

Fishman Island.

After returning from Mary Geoise, Queen Otohime remained silent for several days.

She locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone. The atmosphere in the Dragon Palace was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

King Neptune was in a panic, while the three Shark brothers stood guard at the door, none of them daring to go in.

Queen Otohime did not emerge from her room until the fourth day.

Her eyes were red and swollen, but her gaze was more determined than before.

"I will continue my speech," she said. "Fish-Man Island must join the World Government. That is the only way out."

Neptune wanted to say something, but looking into his wife's eyes, he couldn't utter a word.

"Okay." He nodded. "I support you."

Queen Otohime began giving speeches throughout Fishman Island, promoting the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence between fishmen and humans.

Some people support it, some oppose it, and some are indifferent.

Jinbe stood at the back of the crowd, looking at the princess's tired but determined face, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He disagreed with the princess's idea.

The World Government? The Celestial Dragons? Those people treat fish-people and mermaids as slaves, how could they possibly accept them?

But he did not object.

Because the princess's eyes were so serious. So serious that it was hard to bear to discourage her.

However, when news of the replacement list for the Seven Warlords of the Sea arrived, Jinbe's troubles began.

Pirates who coveted the position of Shichibukai began to flock to Fishman Island.

Although Whitebeard and Roy's banners were flying, there were always those who weren't afraid of death—or rather, those who were blinded by the words "Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Jinbei! Come out!"

"Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea! I challenge you!"

The port of Fishman Island was completely blocked, and the pirates were rampaging around the island, smashing shops, robbing things, and injuring residents.

The guards on Fishman Island couldn't stop them at all.

Jinbe stood at the gate of the Dragon Palace, his face ashen.

"Your Highness, let me make the move."

Queen Otohime shook her head: "We can't fight. If we fight, we'll create enemies, and Fishman Island will be even more difficult in the future..."

"Your Highness!" Jinbe interrupted her, "If we don't fight now, the people of Fishman Island will suffer!"

Queen Otohime opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

At that moment, a loud bang came from the direction of the port.

Jinbe suddenly turned his head, and through his Observation Haki, he sensed a familiar presence rapidly approaching.

"That is..."

"Big Brother Tiger!"

Xiao Ba shouted excitedly.

At the port, the Sun Pirates' ships are docking.

Tiger was the first to jump off the boat, his muscles tense and his eyes blazing.

Upon seeing the pirates causing trouble on the island, he threw a punch without saying a word.

Fishman Karate - Straight Punch!

boom--!!!

A pirate captain who was smashing up a shop was punched and sent flying, crashing through the walls of three blocks and embedding himself in the rubble, foaming at the mouth.

"The Sun Pirates are here!"

"It's Tiger! That fishman with the bounty of 230 million!"

The pirates panicked.

Tiger didn't give them a chance to escape.

He led Aladdin and others in a purge on the island of fishmen.

The pirates were chased relentlessly, with nowhere to run. Some tried to escape by jumping into the sea, but were caught by the fish-men at the bottom of the ocean, dragged up, and beaten again.

Jinbe also joined the battle.

He had been holding in his anger for half a month, and he vented it all on these pirates.

Fishman Karate: Five Thousand Tiles Straight Punch!

With one punch, the three pirate captains were sent flying backwards, crashing into the cargo piles in the harbor, scattering wood everywhere.

An hour later, Fishman Island was quiet.

Tiger, covered in blood—not his, but that of the pirates—walked up to Shinping and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Jinbe, you're still so slow."

Jinbe smiled wryly: "Brother Tiger, it's good that you're here."

Tiger snorted. "The captain sent me. He said Fishman Island needs help."

Queen Otohime walked over and bowed deeply to Tiger: "Mr. Tiger, thank you."

Tiger waved his hand: "Your Highness, no need to thank me. But I must say something—"

He paused, looking into Queen Otohime's eyes.

"The World Government will not accept Fish-Man Island. Never."

Queen Otohime's expression changed.

"The Celestial Dragons need slaves. As long as this need exists, they will not allow Fish-Man Island to join them."

Your speeches and ideas are worthless in the face of self-interest.

Tiger's voice wasn't loud, but every word pierced Queen Otohime's heart like a knife.

"Then... what should we do?" Queen Otohime's voice trembled.

"What should we do?"

Tiger pointed to the top of his head.

"Those two flags above are the true protective umbrella of Fishman Island."
